In Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1942, seven children of beloved football coach Frank "Cav" Cavanaugh are sworn into the military service to serve their country in World War II. As Cav's wife Florence proudly shows old family friend Father Tim Donavan pictures of her children dressed in their military uniforms, Tim presents her with a story that he is writing about her departed husband: Tim's story begins in Worcester in 1891, when Cav is fifteen years old. Young Cav's parents hope that he will give up football for a career in law, but when his high school coach suggests that he play college football at Dartmouth, Cav and his friend Bob vow to attend that university. Several years later, Bob and Cav are members of the Dartmouth team (official distributor synopsis)
